Abstract EN
Autoimmune liver diseases (AILDs) often coexist with other extrahepatic autoimmune diseases (EHAIDs).
The spectrum of EHAIDs in patients with AILDs is similar, whereas the incidence is different.
Notably, autoimmune thyroid disease and Sjogren’s syndrome are the most common EHAIDs.
Associated extrahepatic diseases may predate the appearance of AILDs or coincide with their onset.
More frequently, they may appear during the course and even occur years after the diagnosis of AILDs.
Importantly, associated EHAIDs may influence the natural course and prognosis of AILDs.
To date, a definite pathophysiological pathway which contributes to the coexistence of AILDs and EHAIDs is still lacking.
The current view of autoimmunity clustering involves a common susceptibility genetic background which applies to related pathologies.
Herein, we review the current published researches regarding EHAIDs in patients with AILDs, particularly in relation to their clinical impact and pathophysiology.
In managing patients with AILDs, gastroenterologists should be aware of the possibly associated EHAIDs to ensure a prompt diagnosis and better outcome.
